"Remembrance Days" is the second album by the British band The Dream Academy, released in 1987. While it didn't match the commercial success of their 1985 self-titled debut, it still made an impact, peaking at number 181 in the United States.
The album's standout track, "The Lesson of Love," was written in just two four-hour sessions at Patrick Leonard's home. Nick Laird-Clowes, the band's lead member, was inspired to write "In Exile" after reading an article in The Village Voice about Rodrigo Rojas. Another key track, "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime," was initially recorded with producer Hugh Padgham but later reworked by Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham, who helped shape it into a more polished version. Buckingham also contributed to the reworking of "Indian Summer," which became the album's lead single.
An instrumental version of "Power To Believe" was featured in the 1987 film Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, though the official soundtrack album contained the full vocal version. The instrumental version was later included on the band's 2014 Greatest Hits compilation, The Morning Lasted All Day: A Retrospective.
